Meet the team.

Born in Chicago to Walter and Faye Williams, one of twin girls, Joyce moved to Houston at age five with her mother and seven siblings. At seven she survived a car accident that left her in a coma for three months, and she grew up with fond memories of beach trips and travels to Chicago and Los Angeles.

In her twenties she rose from Leasing Manager to District Manager for the Houston region at NPC, and earned a Cosmetology License through HCC. She married in 1993 and is a mother of three and grandmother of seven. Together with her husband she fostered children, and later adopted a five-year-old boy.

Joyce always had a heart for children who were displaced. When she prayed about where she fit in, she says God “saw my tears and heard my heart's cry and His only spoken words were ‘Good Heart'.” From that prayer, Good Hearts Youth and Family Services was born, and it now serves families throughout the greater Houston area and beyond.
